Totally agree...but then we keep on electing them back to make the same decisions....at least there are a few in congress that have the stones to speak up and tell the rest that the American people are tired of war.
Not a dove, spent three tours in Nam and have a daughter that just got back from Irac. DMc
 
Man,

I think Rush hit on something that even his detractors would agree on!!!!!!

PPRM
 
I'm a BIG "detractor" of Limbaugh....but when someone is right...they're right...and on this issue he's RIGHT in a big way!!
 
I think I lucked out and heard him the day he put that on the air. Or I heard a rebroadcast of it. Anyway he is right, as he normally is.
